Abstract


Abstrak

Peternak kambing di Desa Jenggawah, Kabupaten Jember masih mengandalkan pakan konvensional tanpa pengolahan khusus, sehingga rendahnya kecernaan dan nilai gizi pakan menjadi masalah yang berdampak pada produktivitas ternak. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan motivasi peternak melalui penerapan teknologi fermentasi pakan ternak kambing untuk menghasilkan pakan yang lebih bernutrisi dan efisien. Program pengabdian dilaksanakan pada September–Oktober 2025 dengan pendekatan pelatihan di lapangan. Metode ini dilakukan melalui sosialisasi teori dan demonstrasi langsung teknik fermentasi, yang terdiri atas penyiapan bahan, pencacahan, pencampuran dengan inokulan bakteri asam laktat, dan penyimpanan produk dalam ruang kedap udara. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner sebelum dan sesudah pelatihan, kemudian dianalisis dengan uji T untuk mengukur peningkatan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan motivasi. Analisis SWOT juga dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang, dan ancaman dalam penerapan teknologi ini. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan pada skor pengetahuan (2,0 menjadi 8,0, t = –17,75; p = 5,39×10⁻¹¹), keterampilan (2,0 menjadi 8,0, t = –16,02; p = 3,99×10⁻¹⁰), dan motivasi (4,0 menjadi 7,93, t = –14,63; p = 1,72×10⁻⁹). Program ini berhasil diimplementasikan dan membawa dampak perubahan positif bagi masyarakat mitra.

Abstract

Goat farmers in Jenggawah Village, Jember Regency, continue to rely on conventional feed without specialized processing, resulting in low digestibility and nutritional value, which negatively affects livestock productivity. This community service program aimed to enhance farmers' knowledge, skills, and motivation by introducing fermented feed technology for goat farming, thereby producing more nutritious and efficient feed. The program was implemented from September to October 2025 using a field-based training approach. The methodology included theoretical dissemination and hands-on demonstrations of feed fermentation techniques, covering material preparation, chopping, mixing with lactic acid bacteria inoculants, and storing the product in an airtight environment. Data were collected through pre- and post-training questionnaires and analyzed using a t-test to assess improvements in knowledge, skills, and motivation. Additionally, a SWOT analysis was conducted to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with the adoption of this technology. The results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge scores (from 2.0 to 8.0, t = –17.75; p = 5.39×10⁻¹¹), skills (from 2.0 to 8.0, t = –16.02; p = 3.99×10⁻¹⁰), and motivation (from 4.0 to 7.93, t = –14.63; p = 1.72×10⁻⁹). The program was successfully implemented and had a positive impact on the partner community, contributing to the improved efficiency and sustainability of goat farming practices.
